Blood Watch: All A and O blood types in high demand

Hospital usage is steadily high and all A and O blood types are in high demand.

A-negative and O-negative blood types continue to be at critical levels.

A-positive and O-positive have slightly rebounded, but the demand remains high.

The blood bank reports B-positive, B-negative, AB-positive and AB-negative as adequate.

With the majority of the population being A-positive and O-positive blood types, the blood bank encourages the community to try to be blood donors.
